Bacon Wrapped cocktail hotdogs With a Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds

1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners

3/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is
easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener
with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large
baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.

Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the
sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep
on the low setting.

Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup natural peanut butter

1 cup hot water

1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

1/4 cup tamari

1/4 cup molasses

1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Directions

In a small saucepan, whisk together peanut butter
and water over low heat. Stir in vinegar, tamari, molasses, and cayenne
pepper. Heat through, but do not simmer or boil; cooking can cause the
sauce to curdle.
